Servers view
The Servers View contains a number of useful functions
for managing server instances. Apart from adding and removing server
instances there are many commands associated with the servers and
their active config instances and AssemblyLines.

The main toolbar shows the following buttons:
- Add Server
- Use this to add another server

- Use this to start a "local" server (for example, one that is accessible
in your file system).
If you have a config instance selected you
can start one or more of its AssemblyLines.
- Stop

or AssemblyLine.
- Refresh
- Use this to refresh the contents of the Servers view

"local" server
The pop-up menu for each item in the view shows additional commands
